PIPD Update Jun 28, 2024

Kudos

Now that we have had some time with open beds folks are finding little things to fix in patient rooms. This really helps so please keep it up and have UAs put in the appropriate reqs. 

IPC - please clamp down on patients who are on isolation precautions from being in halls. They can move between areas with PPE and hand hygiene when needed but are not to play, wander, or being outside their rooms otherwise. Reminder that there are IPAC Patient Information Hand-Outs on the SHA website. Just search "Patient Information Handout". You will find one pagers on Contact, Droplet, Airborne, CPO, C.Diff, Noro, and TB that you can print and give to families on admission which is useful in educating them on what rules they need to follow. 

EPP - reminder that there are wall mounted clear boxes at each of the flow stations with EPP plans including the Service Disruption plan for events such as downtime procedures when our digital applications go down. For example, if Allscripts Patient Flow goes down you can still admit a patient to the unit by calling the System Flow Coordinator and notifying them of the patient and room they will be going to. The System Flow clerks will then update the system when it comes back online. This eliminates any need to delay patient transfers as a result of a disruption. Feel free to send feedback on any EPP plans if you have any. 

Heparin infusions - the standard IVF change period of 96hrs does not apply to when mediations are infusing, including Heparin. With medications the entire IV set-up (bag and tubing) must be changed daily. 

Laundry room update -  the room is out of commission as a new washer and dryer was delivered on July 28. We are waiting to hook these up before opening the laundry room again. 

Upcoming manager coverage:

- week of July 1: Fiona

- week of July 8: Jonathan

- week of July 15: Jonathan

- week of July 22: Fiona

AIMS

Gateway Online and VIP update

Historical information on Gateway Online and VIP, including pay stubs and T4s, will remain available for download for the foreseeable future. This means employees will not need to submit tickets to MyConnection to access pre-AIMS employee information. Please note that payslips from July 4, 2024, onward will be available through MyConnection.

 

Tips for accessing MyWork

With AIMS launched in MyConnection there are more functions for employees to access. One function, called MyWork (located on the top right-hand side), is where you can go to view personal information, pay information, and more.

Here are some instructions for accessing MyWork:

No need to login with credentials: On the login page, click Company Single Sign-On to access MyWork. Do not attempt to input a user ID and password as this will lock you out of your account.

MyWork tab may be hidden on your MyConnection homepage: Your screen may be zoomed in too much, resulting in existing banners blocking the tab.

To gain visibility of the MyWork tab on the homepage, you may have to zoom out on your screen.

To zoom out using your keyboard: Click CTRL and the - (minus) key together until the MyWork tab is visible.

To zoom out through your browser: Click on the three dots at the top right of your Google Chrome browser and scroll to the zoom option.


CNE Update:

Suction tubing/cannisters and Oxygen tubing must be changed qSunday & PRN if in use.
Sterile Water bottles (for feeds, mouthcare) must be changed q24H
NS bottles (for cleaning out suction tubing) must be changed q24H 

NEW q-cards:
     1. How to set up bed traction for our Halo patients. This is also hung up in room 2013 where the traction supplies are kept. Ortho team should still be setting up traction but this is the guide to help.
     2. Saskatchewan Bleeding Disorders Program - information on important phone numbers, how to find the product monographs, and other quick tips!

Found an IV pump or Syringe pump not working? - Write down exactly what is the pump showing and give to the Support Staff to send to maintenance. If you aren't specific with why the pump isn't working, clinical engineering doesn't know how to help.
